What’s near Winchester
Bookings here are frequently close to St Bede Church of England Primary School, Leigh House Hospital and Peter Symonds College and the streets around them. You will also find St. Cross Park (1 mile south), St Swithun-upon-Kingsgate Church (less than half a mile east) and The Green Man pub (within half a mile north-west). Winchester’s nearest station is Winchester station, roughly 0.6 miles north of the centre. A little further out are Winchester City Museum (less than half a mile north-east) and St John's Rooms And Chapel (less than half a mile east). Green spaces nearby include Winnall Moors and Twyford Down.
Hog roast catering in SO22: local guide
There are 3 towns and 2 villages and hamlets in SO22, so the setting can be anything from Winchester, Hyde and Weeke to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Winchester: For anyone arriving by rail, Winchester station, about 0.6 miles north, is the nearest station. If you had St. Cross Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. Light matters for a long roast: in Winchester, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to SO22
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
SO22: your questions answered
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Is it just pork?
It is built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Is our garden big enough?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
